Sometimes you want to know more about a journal, such as its publication practices or its reputation within its area of study. Perhaps you need to know:
Looking at the publication record in a database and the publisher's web site are two places to start:
By clicking on the publication title in a database, it will tell you if the journal is scholarly and/or peer reviewed. It may also give you a link to the publisher to find out more.
The publisher website for a particular journal has information about editorial and submission policies. You can search Google for the journal title.
Submission information and editorial policies for a journal are usually not on the homepage. Look for About, Contact, Instructions to Authors, Author Guidelines, or Contribute links.
